Last week General Motors recalled more than one million vehicles because GM said a system that heated the windshield-washer fluid could cause fires. Now there is some new troubling information. Apparently the maker of the windshield-washer system, Micro-Heat, is claiming that it is not to blame for the defect, and further says that GM owners are still at risk of fires because the electrical system in the vehicles is flawed.
The vehicles being recalled are the 2006-9 Buick Lucerne; Cadillac DTS; Hummer H2; 2008-9 Buick Enclave; Cadillac CTS; 2007-9 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT; Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe; GMC Acadia, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL; Saturn Outlook; and 2009 model year Chevrolet Traverse.
